midnight is a place

[incandescens]

Well, I could say that I'd been lazy today, but then all you hard-working types would feel obliged to kill me for it -- as would I, when I look back at this entry on a later day and am stressed out of my mind. So I won't.

(I did write a drabble for my doctor_jackal lj, but that's hardly hard labour.)

Oh, I did a fortnight's worth of ironing. Does that count?

I wish aestheticism sold GetBackers doujinshi. They seem to be rather thin on the ground -- at least, when compared to more popular series. And the Ban/Ginji pairing is like the Sanzou/Gokuu pairing in Saiyuki: (a) it's the most frequent, and (b) I don't really want to buy it, bother it.

---

When, when shall I meet you
When shall I see your face
For I am living in time at present
But you are living in space

Time is only a corner
Age is only a fold
A year is merely a penny
Spent from a century's gold

So meet me, meet me at midnight
(With sixty seconds' grace)
Midnight is not a moment
Midnight is a place

(from Midnight is a Place, Joan Aiken)

Do you know about Toshi's site? A very nice Japanese man who sells doujinshi.

I know he carries Getbackers, but I'm not sure what pairings. ^_^;

I've looked at that site several times, and he carries quite a few GB doujinshi, but he requires payment in international postal order, and I'm hesitating a bit about that, given the vagaries of the post and being in the UK. If only he took paypal, I'd be spending too much money like a shot. :P

[stormcloude]

Yes, he is rather addicting. ~_^ But if you're looking to be pushed over to the dark side, I've ordered from him several times, several large orders ($150 or so) and never had any problems.

But then I'm not in the UK and don't know much about your post.

[incandescens]

Hmm. Oh, what the heck. I'll give it a try, once I've checked with the local post office about the feasibility of getting international postal orders. ;)

E-mail Susan and ask if she can pick some up the next time she's on a shopping run for Aestheticism. ^_^

Now there's a thought . . .

oh goth, Toshi! I have not visited his site in ages, I actually lost the link...can anyone give it to me?

I used to order so often from him but then I stopped, it does save money. I haven't shopped Aestheticism in a while either. I need to buy more Saiyuki *LOL*.

Sanzo/Goku...for some reason it doesn't attract me at all, I have bought that dj pairing only for art covers or drawings. Otherwise not interested. Hakkai/Sanzo however, I am there anytime XD!!

I really must go through my collection and see if I can thin it out a bit. ;P Getting too large, and sometimes what the cover shows isn't what's inside.

Ironically, I'd just seen that site's Harry Potter doujin page linked from tws_support. Small world, ne?

Coincidence, one of the great forces of the Internet.
